Joni Was Right

I thought gardens were amusement parks Spider webs were works of art And war was just Another game we played

Time just sent me off to bed Love was just a word we said I thought someone would always keep me safe And that I might become an astronaut some day

Growing up is falling down And landing safely on the ground Waking up in the dead of night Thinking oh my god – Joni was right

Between the downfalls and the deepest pains Lessons learned the hardest ways I hope, that there was something left so save So I went back to try and find the innocence I left behind And realized my paradise was paved

Growing up is falling down And landing safely on the ground Waking up in the dead of night Thinking oh my god – Joni was right

The cost of being wild and free The endless possibility The open road in front of me It's harder than I thought it'd be

Growing up is falling down And landing safely on the ground Waking up in the dead of night Thinking oh my god – Joni was right
